From groleau+wes@freeshell.org

Created by groleau+news@freeshell.org

I wrote a program to split up a long text file and store pieces
in a DBM hash. ONE of the pieces crashed the program with
sometimes bus error, sometimes fault.

I could prevent/restore the crash by adding and removing lines
from the file, but neither the content of the lines, nor the
number of lines, nor the total size seemed to be the factor.

Finally, I moved the whole mess to a Net-BSD/Alpha machine and
instead of a crash got a message showing that perl on that
machine thought I was trying to use an unavailable debugger.

Then, another version of the program did not crash, and 'diff'
showed that the one that _worked_ had an extra space in the bang line​:

#/path/perl -w -CSD works but
#/path/perl -w -CSD does not.

This was reproducible on both systems. A tarball containing the
program,
the input file, and some notes, including 'uname -a' and 'perl -v'
from the other system is at http​://groleau.freeshell.org/perl-bug.tar.gz

Although bug 33965 is labeled OS Darwin, note that the description confirms that
it has been verified as also a problem in a BSD system.
